I have pain on my right side of chest?

Caution...: Any chest pain could be worrisome for a heart or lung problem... Depending on your risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, etc. But most are routine- note other symptoms like fever, cough, or history like trauma. Call your doctor, and consider going to an ed.

How old are you?: Right-sided chest pain is unusual for heart disease. Other possibilities include pleurisy, muscle ache, arthritis, gall bladder disease. If your neck or shoulder are affected, a pinched nerve in your spine could be the culprit. If you have cardiac risk factors and the pain touches your breast bone (sternum), heart disease is still a consideration, albeit unlikely.

Find out the cause: First, you should determine the cause of the pain. Then a specific treatment can be started.
